Ranking every Phoenix Suns uniform ever
By Adam Maynes
9. 2018-19 City Edition “Los” Suns
Very similar to their 2017-18 City Edition uni’s, the 2018-19 incarnation has a flair to it that was both retro and reminiscent of another sport.
What made the ’18-19 unis so ugly (ranked as #23) was the crayon affect to the look with the constant, solid purple. Those uniforms were overly simple and un-creatively plain (not to forget the “Phoenix” constellation silhouette on the back, a reference to a grouping of stars unseen by Northern Hemisphere observers for the entire planet’s history).
The 2018-19 set not only broke up the monotony that the first one did, but also added a very unique addition in the Arizona flag to the bottom left leg of the Suns’ shorts.
In a similar spot to the purple or black box on the bottom left-led of the fireball-era uniforms, the flag is a really cool reference to the state, the first professional sports uniform (by my recalection) that added the flag to it’s look since the Arizona Cardinals had the state flag on their shoulder sleeve back in the early-2000s.
Within the font of both the front and the back (excluding the player’s last name), there is also a really cool pattern that is reminiscent of the pattern on the back of the two-tone black “Los Suns” uniform, that will be coming up in this ranking soon.
